It has now been two years and counting since Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won a Sprint Cup points race. Tick, tock, Clarise. He looked like he might fall into a win Saturday night at RIR after Denny Hamlin had a tire go down. Hamlin led most of the race until his tire problem with less than 20 laps to go. This gift wrapped the lead to Jr. He couldn't close the deal. He came down on Kyle Busch's car with three laps to go, and wrecked himself. This move also cost Busch any shot at the win.

Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds both went out of their way to blame Busch for Earnhardt's mistake. Of course, DW and Larry Mac never let the truth get in the way of their myopic view of the action. Any unbiased viewer could see Jr's car come down on Busch's. Larry harped on Kyle's wheels turning to the right. True, AFTER Jr initiated the contact. Is there one Jr fan out there who saw what actually happened?
